CASE QUESTIONS

1. What are the pickup, sort, line-haul, and delivery costs to Hardee for this move?

2. What is the total cost of this move? Cost per cwt? Cost per revenue mile?

3. If Hardee would put two drivers in the tractor for the line-haul move, there would be

no rest required for drivers during the line-haul move. What would happen to total

costs?

4. Assume that Hardee has no loaded backhaul to return the vehicle and driver to

Pittsburgh. How would you account for the empty backhaul costs associated with

this move? Would you include those in the headhaul move? How would this impact

your pricing strategy?
